Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 374

"What?"

Anna and Charlotte were stunned. Their faces showed a mix of worry and tension. They never expected Julia to come up with such a calculated scheme.

"That's your brother! How can you just stand by and watch Morgan defeat him?" Charlotte urgently tried to dissuade her.

"Exactly, Julia! Even if Hayden said some harsh words earlier, it was just out of anger. If there's a chance, we should bring him to our side.

"We're outnumbered and lack support. Having Hayden return to the Sterling family is our best option. He can only protect us if he becomes the legitimate heir!" Anna reminded her.

When the conflict between the mistress and the legitimate wife began, there was already a difference in status between Morgan and Hayden.

Even in court, the judge would likely side with Hayden. This was an undeniable fact.

"But look at him now—do you think he'd listen to us? If he had even a shred of decency, he wouldn't have said those things today.

"If you can't come up with a better idea, then just go with my suggestion. Let him experience failure, and he'll find his way back to us and apologize. By then, he'll have to rely on us to get back on his feet and join our side!" Julia's expression was cold, and she spoke with a determined tone.

Having spent years navigating the business world, she had honed a decisive and sharp personality. She also had a clear understanding of Hayden's current situation.

Only by letting him fail could they create an opening for change.

"Mom..." Anna hesitated and looked at Charlotte. She also felt that Julia's reasoning was sound.

The Hayden she had seen earlier was someone she had never encountered before. It frightened her and made her reluctant to face him. Perhaps Julia's plan could work?

"I... I don't know! I just don't know!" Charlotte was completely at a loss, shaking her head repeatedly. Her voice was filled with helplessness. She could only utter these words to conceal her inner panic.

Seeing this, Julia immediately declared, "Alright, it's decided then. Go back to your room and rest."

She gave Anna a meaningful glance.
